Old picture: "Rubec Kubi (external link)"

I have other idea but no resources to make it, so for now this is all I can do, at least I had some fun with the lighting

EDIT: I Finally managed to get what I needed, so I decided to switch picture since the OP asked for smaller cubes ;) And the previous one was a truly cliché :mad:

"Hold on that sweet cube"

well, its time to announce the winner
I'll give it to John_B, like the clarity, details and color, almost like looking through a microscope
damn I'd like to get my hands on one of those mp-e65 ;)
great entries all, even if only few of them,
I'll blame the holiday for that... lol... instead of a pourly chosen theme :)

John, its your turn, looking forward to see what the theme is going to be

Daniel2000,
Thanks, with the length of the MP-E 65mm when it is at 5:1 it looks/feels like a large microscope :)

monty28428,
Thanks, it was easier with you not participating <-- hint... :lol: :lol:

Warl0rd,
I found it so funny: I was thinking of this miniature Rubick's cube and then you posted a photo of one... So I switched to sugar and you also switched to sugar. Coincidental :lol:

Will pick a new macro topic in a few :)

Congrats, John! I loved those sugar cubes as well as Warl0rd's redo sugar cube shot.

We missed you this round monty!

Dom87SS, I admit the first thing that came to my mind for this challenge was bullion cubes. :D

I had a hard time coming up with something this round. For fun, I almost posted this one. :lol:

congrats John, good capture, I like how it looks 2 grains glued together perfectly while the other ones look that are suspended mid air.

John, my 1st idea was to do something with sugar cubes, but I couldn't find them so I went straight for the cliché approach and grabbed my father old rubik cube and took the shot. Then went I finally got the sugar cubes, what I thought wasn't working that good (a cube made of sugar cubes) then I remembered that robotic hand and here it is.

Air & Water, oh boy, all I can think is a used cliché again lol
